Private library
Space for hospitality and interiority.
A large library in which to experience private moments of meeting and relaxation.
Architect Matteo Crippa involved us in the project of this large bright space, specially designed for the insertion of a large wooden bookcase. The idea was to create, through a classic and refined style, a reading place for the owner that could also be the reception area of the apartment at the same time.

Living room
The designer highlighted a very clear path to cover in order to achieve the desired result. He directed us in the search for the right shade of colour using Anigre wood, eventually whitened and indigo coloured in semitransparency with an open-grain wax treatment. The result leaving a fine soft touch. Every single moulding is the result of careful study by our technical office to find the right harmony of lines matching the mood desired by the Architect. The bookcases have adjustable shelves and doors fastened with classic piano hinges.
Library
The bookcase as a whole construction is an architectural element that defines the passage between the living and dining area. The Joinery work integrates with full-height panelling that lines the entire room and houses the owner’s collection. Each section feature lighting fixtures that diffuse a soft light on their facades. The lower part of the bookcase have doors with internal shelves. The polishing work completely bespoke, the colours applied manually in order to give the distressed effect, with a wax finish that keeps the wood grain open creating the sensation of softness of the surface to the tact.
Activities
All panelling and bookcases built and assembled at raw-wood stage in our workshop. Special care dedicated to the manufacture of the doors, which perfectly fit seamless with the decorative panelling. In a second stage, still in our workshop, the raw-wood construction once again assembled after the polishing treatment. Once the result receives our team approval and ultimately the Architect’s, we are finally able to proceed with the delivery and installation on site..
